FASHIONABLE FURS.
Becoming Styles That Adapt Them.
selves to Various Tastes.

Furs hare quite stepped out of the oil
rqts; the manufacturers have found i
necessary to accommodate their ware
to the fashion of the times or give III
altogether. One of the largest flu
houses in New York. and one of the
oldest, has this season put designing
and manufacturing department in the
hands of a Well.known dress-des:gner
furs aud fur garments alone not meet
ing present requirements. Fur was
never more employed than now, but ii
is as trimming and in combina ton with
other material, not in sets or as COM
plete for garments.
| A long cloak of sealSkin or other fur
is quickly found to be a mistake, for
there are SO few days upon which it
can be worn, while the heat it produces
is SO much greater than that of an
ordinary garment that change is
always attended with risk. A gentleman
who had paid $500 for long seal cloak
for his wife. after several years of
repeatedly expressed desire on her,
part, was unutterably disguised to find,
after trial of one season that she had
had it cut down into dolman mantle.
Seal plush is more practical fabric
for long cloak than real seal fur, and
is equally handsomo. If the plush is of
the best quality, while the cost, though
heavy. if it is Eichly lined and finished,
is not half that of sealskin.
The new fur garments, however,
adapt themselves to varying tastes and
fashions. The 5oa is reVived, but is not
SO long as formerly, and is shaped
slightly to the neck, the long hair fall
ing over, so as to give more graceful
effect thai that of the old, round, short
haired boa.
There are small mantles, with or with
out sleeves; mantles that are short upon
the ba k and straight like visite; and
others that deepen and form basque.

border in different fur; seal with a
border of beaver or otter obtaining
the preference and contrasting best |
with rich old gold, brown or strawberry |
satin lining. The long haired furs, !
lynx, fox, hare and otter, are naturally |
for whole garments, excepting |
capes, muffS and boas; but they make |
beautiful trimmings and are in greater |
demand than any of the close, short furs
such as beaver and otter, the softness

them clientele of their own.
Muffs are very small, and the latest
touch for muffs and boas is the head of
the animal, and for the. boa, its tail
also. This is particularly desirable in
the case of fox furs, the tail being bushy
and highly ornamented as finish.
What may be called the adulteration Of
furs is so general that some ladies
establish communication with Denver
and send to the fur houses there for
skins of important garm ents. The prices
are not much lower, but are sure of the
real thing.-Jenny June, in Chicago

HOW TO D"ESS THE YOUNGSTERS.
The Gretchen dress is still in vogue
for little girls. Short WASTED, quaint
New York and all our Atlantic cities,
but in Europe little girls and small boys
are dressed in long-waiSted, loose
fitting fr0ckS and outer garments. Great
latitude is permitted in the style of
children's clothing, Little girls of from
three to five and six are generally given
frocks with skirts reaching to the top of
their shoes, and as they grow older to
the top of their boots. Very small girls,
as we'll as boys, wear half-hoSe with
these long skirt dresses. The waists of
such frockS are more frequently made
short than long.
In silks for spring wear are surahs
| with wide diagonal twillS, in .col0rs and
| plaidS, zig-Zag patterns, and many in
plaids of chaSte and harmonious cOlorS.
The prettiest of them have pale pink
ground, and are crossed with dark blue,
| or visa versa. Gray with pink bars
makes most exquisite effect, and suede
with green and pink in bars and fine
! lines makes another pretty style.
silks. are to be made of one ma
terial, without combination other
| than trimmings. such as collar, cuffs
and here and there fold of velvet.
| Heavy SurahS in coarse diagonal
weave, with small squares formed by
single threads of white on dark grounds
in all the new cOlOrS, are much used for
| seryiceable costumes, and will be used

tussOres mentioned below. India silks
are shown in great variety, and
